why does everybody hurt
every bitter sickening word breaks my heart
why can´t anybody hear
when the thunder disappears and the sun breaks free

it´s time for mercy
it´s time for mercy
mercy me

every color every shade
everyone an angel made from the breath of god
i´m your mother i´m your son
i am not the other one that you love to hate

it´s time for mercy
it´s time for mercy
pretty please...

when the fires all burn down
when they open up the ground and put you in
i´ll lay flowers on your grave
it´s a little too late for sorry now

it´s time for mercy
it´s time for mercy
it´s time for mercy
mercy me
